Phil Collins, Genesis, Steve Hackett, Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Michael Rutherford - The Fountain Of Salmacis (2008 Digital Remaster)
Текст песни
Mount Ida rises like an island.
Within a hidden cave, nymphs had kept a child;
Hermaphroditus, son of gods, so afraid of their love.
As the dawn creeps up the sky
The hunter caught sight of a doe.
In desire for conquest,
He found himself within a glade he'd not beheld before.
[Hermaphroditus:]
"Where are you, my father?
Give wisdom to your son"
[Narrator:]
"Then he could go no farther
Now lost, the boy was guided by the sun"
And as his strength began to fail
He saw a shimmering lake.
A shadow in the dark green depths
Disturbed the strange tranquility.
[Salmacis:]
"The waters are disturbed
Some creature has been stirred"
[Narrator:]
"The waters are disturbed
Naiad queen Salmacis has been stirred"
As he rushed to quench his thirst,
A fountain spring appeared before him
And as his heated breath brushed through the cool mist,
A liquid voice called, "Son of gods, drink from my spring".
The water tasted strangely sweet.
Behind him the voice called again.
He turned and saw her, in a cloak of mist alone
And as he gazed, her eyes were filled with the darkness of the lake.
[Salmacis:]
"We shall be one
We shall be joined as one"
[Narrator:]
"She wanted them as one
Yet he had no desire to be one"
[Hermaphroditus:]
"Away from me cold-blooded woman
Your thirst is not mine"
[Salmacis:]
"Nothing will cause us to part
Hear me, O Gods"
Unearthly calm descended from the sky
And then their flesh and bones were strangely merged
Forever to be joined as one.
The creature crawled into the lake.
A fading voice was heard:
"And I beg, yes I beg that all who touch this spring
May share my fate"
[Salmacis:]
"We are the one
We are the one"
[Narrator:]
"The two are now made one,
Demi-god and nymph are now made one"
Both had given everything they had.
A lover's dream had been fulfilled at last,
Forever still beneath the lake.
